Type I IFNs Decrease SARS-CoV-2 Replication in Human Cardiomyocytes and Increase Cytokine Production in Macrophages
J Clin Immunol. 2025 Oct 21;45(1):149. doi: 10.1007/s10875-025-01943-6. ABSTRACT The cellular basis of COVID-19 severity in patients with deficiencies in type I IFN immunity remains unclear. In this study, we differentiated cardiomyocytes and macrophages from IFNAR1 competent (IFNAR1comp) and deficient (IFNAR1def) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and analyzed virus replication and cytokine production after exposure … Read more
